You have all that money....and you can't afford a cab? Shit like this makes me shake my head. :shake:

Not only that, but most teams (I admit I don't know for sure about the Broncos) offer DD services to their players, so it's not like they'd be calling your normal, everyday cab.

NFLPA has a free ride program in each city, so the players don't need to spend a dime. The player makes a call and a car service takes him home for free.

NFLPA.org
DUI Prevention Program Addresses Safety, Confidentiality

April 15, 2009

It's the early hours of the morning. You drove your friends to a bar, and now you've had one too many to drink. How do you get home safely?

Now, there's an easy answer: Safe Ride Solutions.

Safe Ride Solutions was created in 2006 after the San Diego Chargers tested out a pilot program to help reduce the number of off-the-field problems players were experiencing in social settings. After its success, security consultant Gary Lawrence, who initiated the program, teamed up with Pro Bowl fullback Lorenzo Neal and businessman Matt Mahoney to expand the service nationwide.

Now available in 16 U.S. cities, the program has been tailored to nine NFL clubs and is also used by professional athletes in other sports. It not only helps prevent DUIs and protect players, in a professional and confidential way, but it also protects citizens in their communities.

"We are in business to get our clients home safe," said Lawrence, Safe Ride's CEO, "no matter who it may be-a player, coach or club employee."

NFLPA President Kevin Mawae supports the program and said the union and Safe Ride Solutions are exploring options for the NFLPA to administer the program internally and on a league-wide basis. "The NFL Players Associationunderstands the importance of the social responsibility of our players," Mawae said, "and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with a program such as Safe Ride Solutions."

Safe Ride Solutions drivers are retired law enforcement officials and off-duty officers. The drivers must go through a stringent screening process administered by Safe Ride personnel. "We turn down more guys than we accept to make sure we have the right drivers," Lawrence said. "Because of our drivers' experience, they have the ability to analyze situations, which may mitigate any negative situations for our clients."

To request a driver, Safe Ride's clients call a toll-free number. The driver can drive the individual home in his own vehicle at the end of the night or provide driving services for an entire evening.

"Safe Ride allows our players to enjoy themselves," Mawae said, "while knowing they have an alternative mode of transportation if they find themselves in a situation where they cannot drive responsibly."

For more information on Safe Ride Solutions, or to become a client, go to www.saferidesolutions.net or contact Gary Lawrence at info@saferidesolutions.netor 208-938-4500.

Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams was arrested this morning on suspicion of drinking and driving.

Williams, driving a Hummer, was stopped at about 2:50 a.m. in the 900 block of Broadway, said John White, a Denver Police Department spokesman.

"He was contacted and ultimately taken in for a DUI," White said.

White could not say why Williams was pulled over or whether he took an alcohol breathalyzer test at the scene.

In September of 2005 Williams was arrested in Douglas County for driving under the influence, according to court records. In the 2005 case, Williams pleaded guilty to driving under the influence with ability impaired. He paid at least $740 in fines and court costs, according to court records, and was ordered to perform 24 hours of community service.

Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels addressed the matter this morning at his regularly scheduled news conference.

"We're certainly disappointed and do not condone that type of behavior from any of our players or anyone else in our organization," McDaniels said.

McDaniels said that Williams was not at the Broncos' Dove Valley complex this morning, adding that he didn't he didn't know if the linebacker would practice at 11:15 a.m. today.

The coach also said he does not know if Williams will play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs until he learns more about the situation.

"This is going to involve more people than just us," McDaniels said. "But we're going to try to do what's in the best interest of our organization."

Williams, the Broncos' leading tackler and one of their defensive captains, will likely be suspended for two to four games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.

San Diego receiver Vincent Jackson is serving for a three-game suspension (reduced from four games) for repeated DUI arrests. Previously, defensive end Jared Allen served a two-game suspension.

The league's personal conduct policy does not require a conviction for commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend a player who is charged. However, it will likely take some time before the NFL rules on Williams, so he might be available to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

Asked if he was disappointed that one of his team's leaders was arrested for DUI, McDaniels said: "We're disappointed no matter who it is."

Williams' first DUI occurred at about 3 a.m. on Sept. 23, 2005, the Friday morning before the Broncos were to play the Kansas City Chiefs on "Monday Night Football." Williams left a birthday party and was charged with driving under the influence.

"Yeah, it's embarrassing," Williams told The Denver Post at the time. "I know now you've got to have a driver or somebody driving you around when you plan on going out like that."

Media members viewing the first 10 minutes of practice saw Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/dj-williams/) drive away from the facility just a couple minutes after he arrived.

Williams was arrested overnight on a driving under the influence of alcohol charge, his second such infraction in a little more than 5 years.

It’s possible Williams, the Broncos’ leading tackler and a defensive captain, will not play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs even though the league is not expected to rule on whether he violated the personal conduct policy until a later date.

He is facing a suspension of up to four games, although it’s possible such punishment would be enforced until the start of next season.

Arrested for DUI on Friday morning, Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2664) faces a possible suspension in the future as a repeat offender of the league’s personal conduct policy. (He also had a DUI five years ago.)
In the short term, it looks like he will only sit out a quarter.

Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports that the team isleaning towards benching Williams (http://twitter.com/#!/PostBroncos/statuses/3508181804261376) for the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. That’s the same approach the Jets took with Braylon Edwards and what the Titans did with Kenny Britt (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=5130).

Williams didn’t practice with the team Friday, and coach Josh McDaniels said he was “disappointed” in his team captain (http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_16600624). Losing Williams for a quarter Sunday and possibly four games eventually could be costly for the Broncos. He’s arguably been their best defensive player and their linebacker group is already thin.

DJ Williams, who has been one of the most productive defensive players for the struggling Denver Broncos will be spending Sunday’s game against the division leading Kansas City Chiefs on the bench.

Williams was busted for a DUI violation early Friday morning causing the linebacker to arrive late the Denver’s Friday practice.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels originally said that the team would defer to the league on possible punishment for Williams, however, that all changed today when Denver benched Williams, stripped him of his defensive captaincy and hit him with the biggest possible fine allowed by league rules.

“The Denver Broncos are extremely disappointed in D.J. Williams’ careless and irresponsible actions on Friday morning,” the team said in a statement. “This type of behavior is taken very seriously by the organization.”

The team went on to say that any further punishment of Williams would be up to the league.

This has to be welcomed news to the Chiefs who are likely to attempt to get their running game back on track after having their worst rushing day of the season last week in Oakland.

Williams has 72 tackles, 3.5 sacks 3 passes defended and a forced fumble on the season for the last place Broncos.

The odd thing is that the Broncos are only saying that he won't "start" vs. the Chiefs. They fined him heavily, and he's no longer a captain, but they definitely didn't say he was benched.

In some ways, I hope that he sits out the first play and then comes in for the rest of the game. That'd be a good way to sent a pretty bad message to the rest of the team. But I don't even think McDaniels is quite THAT dumb. It'll be interesting to see how long he DOES sit him, though.

Yes you have a good point and living out here in Denver I have heard this same argument. But I dunno at this point? I think if McKid were really smart and read the "tea leaves" a little more accurately he would see that not playing DJ at all tomorrow would be in McKid's own interest.

The game tomorrow is more important to Josh's survival than the Broncos survival. Everyone(Ownership,Media and Fans) knows that the Broncs are almost next to mathmatically eliminated from the playoffs. But what "everyone" will not accept is another "embarassing asskicking" and especially at home. I really feel that McKid is on very thin ice and very close to a "Hawkins Hanging"(Dan Hawkins who was recently fired as Colo Buffs coach)than we know.

If McKid plays Williams and the Chiefs demolish the donks then this loss is all on McKid which everyone IMO will start calling for Josh's head.

However, if McKid doesn't play Williams there are no expectations from "anyone" because it should have been a "demolishing" anyway since their O and D lines are already beat up with no running game and now with this dumbass incident by Williams why should anyone expect anything positive from the donks.

The odds are high that a "demolition" will occur tomorrow at the hands of the Chiefs and if I am in Josh's shoes I sit Williams to prolong keeping my job. Josh wins either way if he sits Williams. A demolishing is far less damaging because there are no expectations and if it is a close game this only helps Josh keeping his job. If Williams plays then Josh takes a big chance IMO of being fired.

It would have been in the best interest of the Donks at this point had the Chiefs beat the Raiders last week then maybe the Chiefs come into Denver somewhat flat especially learning of the Williams incident. But now since the Chiefs lost and 'must' win this game not only to stay on top but more importantly get over the psychological hurdle of not winning on the road; the Chiefs will now come in here with a more intensity than ever smelling blood in the water and this game will more likely be a 'demolishing'.

Correction: DJ Williams Will Not Start But Will Play

AUTHOR: Patrick Allen | IN: Chiefs | COMMENTS: 4 Comments

Last night we told you that Denver Broncos linebacker DJ Williams would be benched for today’s game against the Chiefs when in actuality, he will play but will not be allowed to start.

From Bill Williamson of ESPN.com:

The Broncos couldn’t have suspended for Williams for the entire game for the arrest. Only the league can discipline players for legal issues. The team’s punishment was based on the distraction Williams caused, and for the fact that he missed much of Friday’s work schedule. He was arrested at 2:50 a.m. in downtown Denver.

We apologize for getting this wrong. It looks like Williams will perhaps miss the first quarter or so an dthen come in to the game.

If I may flex a little editorial muscle here, I have to say that this kind of makes Josh McDaniels look like a joke. Last year before the Chiefs came to town, McDaniels benched Brandon Marshall for the entire game because he questioned Marshall’s commitment to the team. Now he has a drunken fool driving around town and getting arrested just a couple of days before the game and he is going to let the player play.

Perhaps McDaniels remembers all to well the results of benching his better players when the Chiefs come to town but it certainly makes him look like a flip-flopper as a disciplinarian. I honestly can’t see how can have any credibility in the Denver locker room.

I guess since McDaniels is trying to save his job he has put his morals on the shelf for this week.
